I am sorry that this is a really long post!!! (I get carried away with words,
and my little brother says this is my Bibliography of my life.)
Harddrive - Maxtor 120 GB (Diamond Max Plus, Ultra Series)
ABIT VT7 Motherboard
Windows XP Home Edition
I recently wiped my whole harddrive, and tried to install Windows XP Home
Edition.
The sad thing is it says I only have 32 GB on there. Which is so not true.
I have used the harddrive tool (Max Blaster 3, then upgraded to 4), after I
have wiped everything clean. I even ran through the harddrive tool and did
everything to "0", with its utility.
I ran Max Blast 4 again, set up the harddrive to be Win. XP compatible, and
partitioned it so there was a 40 GB harddrive with NFTS, and a 80 GB
Harddrive with NFTS; restarted the computer and started Win. XP setup.
It said I had 32 GB harddrive, and showed only that partition. I after that
cleaned the harddrive again, and partitioned it to be a full 120 GB HD, and
ran the Setup and it still showed up the 32 GB limit.
My jumber settings are right, I updated my BIO's.
I am frustrated to the limit, because before when I did a clean install like
this, I got windows to install, but this time I just can't do it.
Please HELP!
